starting juice fast today, anyone want to join me?

[IamLoved]

Hi

Today is day one of a juice fast. Anyone want to join me? I'd love to have some company/accountability!

[Rawkinlocs]

How long will you be fasting. I've been toying with the idea for some time now...maybe now might be the time!

[IamLoved]

Rawk,

At least 7 days.

You will see in my other thread that I would like to go longer, but not sure of safety and what not.
I would LOVE to have you for an accountability partner. That would be soooooo cool!

[Rawkinlocs]

Ok, I think I will join you! AHHHH...In all honesty, I've never successfully fasted for more than 3 days so this will definitely be a challenge. I will set a goal for 5 days and go from there. Only thing I as ask is this...can we do our daily "accountability-thing" via emails rather than openly here?

You can email me at cmkree@yahoo.com

Me me( as i jump up and down like a two stomping the floor) I want to join in two. Ok email address is redbone728@yahoo.com

[Rawkinlocs]

Cool!

Now, I don't want to make things more difficult for any and all who join...the whole "not wanting to post here thing" is moreso for my own preference. Even if you ladies want to check in daily HERE and I just send emails to you...that would even work.

However you want to do it...but I would just prefer keeping my own documentation kinda private and only between those of us doing the fasting, if that makes any sense at all.

Yippee!

Glad to have you all on board. I will be posting my fasting experience here and if anyone wants to email instead just pop one off to me and we can do that too!

Looking forward to fasting with you all!

Spirit, you sound like me when it comes to day three! But we can do it!!

Missionarymamato5, I got your email yesterday and I sent out an email to everyone who posted here on yesterday.

But I will just check in here and say how I'm doing, etc.

Day two and doing great! I had a headache yesterday, but not today...today my body just kinda has that "detoxy" feeling to it kinda like a dull body ache. But other than that, I'm resting when I can and drinking my juice, water and green smoothies. I had mentioned in my email that for the first 1-3 days I will incorporate green smoothies to help me over this hump and then try to wean off of them and on to just juice and water. So far so good...today I did have smoothie once, but have been drinking mainly juice and water.

I am also documenting my intake (though not amounts) in my journal area as well. Glad to hear the two of you are still in and doing good!

Ok so I guess today is the day! We CAN do this!

This morning I made up all my juice to last me through mst of the day. That way if I get to a point where I need something I have it on hand. This actually makes things much easier on me. My children all took turns putting my carrots through the juicer and had so much fun. I took pictures of them all diong it. Even my 2 year old had fun helping me juice the carrots and apples.
So today I have a headache a bit. Also I always get this coated tongue feeling and a bad taste in my mouth around day 2 that has, in the past, lasted right through til day 6 or 7. I am wondering if it will go away after that. I guess I shall see.
I have decided that my goal is to fast for the entire month of February.

Anyways my first 2 days have been good.
I'll post more tomorrow after day 3 is finished!

Glad you two are still doing well! I'm ok this morning except for a mild headache. I have a question for you about what kind of juice you're drinking. I worry about variety i.e. do I need to drink juice from a lot of different fruits and veggies or should I just stick to the juices I like. I'm a carrot juice person. I've loved carrot juice since I was a little girl and honestly I could fast and drink only carrot juice and not want any other type. I force myself to add other juices because I feel like I need a variety for cleansing, nutrients, etc. So my question is do you drink a variety or do you just stick to a couple things you like? Do you think I should be making an effort to add other things or should i just listen to my body which is telling me it only wants carrot juice? I'm thinking that maybe I'll begin craving other juices the longer I fast, but I've never made it past day 3, so I don't know.

You can email your replies if you'd like. Thanks in advance! :)
